I went to my office today--I had a few meetings but most of the day was just getting things checked off my list. I spent some time chatting with a work friend about a hard thing she is dealing with right now. It felt good to hear her story and give support. It made me...
I worked from home today and finished up about a half an hour early so I could get my hair done. My attempt to beautify myself was thwarted by traffic yesterday and was cut short today by needing to leave for my CrossFit workout. I feel good that I am willing and wanting to get that...
Time for a gratitude update and time to re-commit to this practice. I need to remember gratitude everyday-it makes me feel better and I really need to stay in the habit. Not to mention, it is always fun to go back and read it again. I seem to forget a lot of things, especially...
This daily blogging thing is tricky. I am trying to do so much and haven't been getting up early enough to give myself time to just write. I need to remember how good it feels and how important consistency is as a practice. I am pretty proud of my first week of May 2017. I...
Today was a quiet work from home day. I had hoped to sneak out and re-do my nails but I just didn't. I worked and I meal planned and I got ready for the week. I spent a few minutes outside with the dogs (check out https://k9answers.com/uncategorized/tips-on-training-and-how-to-strengthen-the-bond-with-your-dog/ for dog services) but didn't have time to...
I worked today. Things seem to be light at the office right now, which is great. It doesn't happen very often but when it does, I need to savor it. I had a meeting with the attorneys today in their law library. Every time I am down there, I wonder why I never went to...
Today was a grumpy, bummed out kind of day. I'm upset that my sister refuses to talk to me. I have no idea why. I'm upset that Aaron and I can't get along. Our business and our kids need us to get along. I'm kicking myself for not moving to NYC when I was...
I didn't write this on Monday night and I am having a hard time remembering what went on two days ago. I know I worked from home and I know I went to CrossFit. I walked in the morning with Sarah and it is always nice to catch up with her. I took Flower with...
Today was a work day for me but a day off for the kids and Aaron. Teacher work-day happened to align with high winds so paddling was out of the question. I was grumpy today, most likely due to it being Monday, but I was also irritated with the kids for being bored. We...
So much for my once daily journal posts. I am not sure what about last week got me so out of rhythm with posting. Instead of trying to re-create the week here, I'll just add a snippet from each day last week based on ever-failing memory and my amazing Passion Planner. I'll get back to the...
Today is my mom's birthday! Happy Birthday Mom! I really wish she was hanging out with us today and was hoping that she would surprise us. It would have been so fun to have her show up today--leaving the freezing cold Michigan for some fun in the sun and some grandkid time. She has lots of...
I was so excited to have the day off today! My plan was to sleep in, go to my therapist appointment and then take the kids to do something fun, most likely a visit to Siesta Key Beach. At the last minute, my sister asked me to watch Luna for her while she taught...
Another work day...another day of trying to answer questions to both help fishermen and species that need protection. Today, was good because most of my day was working with my friend Mary. We talked about our project before lunch, decided to carry the conversation through lunch and then came back to the office and discussed...
Today was a hard day to find gratitude. I have been fighting with Aaron--not really fighting, more like just not talking. I feel uncomfortable at home because of various clutter and messes that need to be tended to, but I don't seem to have the time. It is likely some sort of funk that I...
About two months ago, I started a new way of eating, called "Intermittent Fasting". I had first heard about it years ago from this crazy Crossfit girl who seemed extreme in everything she did. It didn't seem like something I could actually do. Fast forward a few years and I am realizing that not only...
I did one of those body fat tests the other day. There is a local company that comes by Crossfit box every few months and I just happened to be there when they were there. I was proud of myself for deciding to get tested. It can be intimidating! The process was kind of...
I have had this recipe ready for awhile now but I wasn't very happy with the photos that I took of my creation. The plan was to make another carrot cake, take more photos and then post it to the blog. But, other things got in the way and I just haven't had a chance...
